This reminds me that it would be very cool if surf could use factotum/secstore ( http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/auth ) from p9p to store and manage passwords. It would, among other things, probably make surf the most secure browser around. As for managing bookmarks, a text editor works just fine. Also I was wondering if surf implements the traditional Unix text editing keybindings: http://unix-kb.cat-v.org I *hate* when ff or any other stupid browser closes the window/tab when I press ^W to *delete the previous word* (as God meant it to do). uriel
